| Chapter DEI Resource Survey |
| Do you know of helpful diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) resources for medical writers? One of the ideas from our book club group was to facilitate DEI education by creating a repository of DEI resources on our chapter webpage. You can help by submitting DEI resources you have found helpful to our list – article, course, video, book, website, etc! Submit your suggestion here: DEI Resources for Medical Writers |
